Cell4Pharma is a Contract Research Organization (CRO), offering state-of-the-art nephrotoxicity screening assays and vesicular transport assays to the pharmaceutical and biotech industries.

Cell4Pharma has developed innovative vesicle-based assays that enable precise studies of cell communication, drug delivery and membrane dynamics. These assays improve the accuracy and efficiency of early-stage research, supporting drug development and the understanding of cellular processes.


Your preferred partner for toxicology and ADME pharmacology.

About the Technology

Tackle your drug-drug interaction and substrate studies with our Vesicular Transport Assays

Human drug efflux transporters (ABC transporters) are transiently overexpressed in human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells. Inside-out membrane vesicles are prepared from these HEK293 cells and used for high-throughput applications. The transporters translocate substrates into membrane vesicles in an ATP-dependent manner. Detection of the substrate inside the vesicles is possible with radiolabel, fluorescence, or LC-MS detection. Cell4Pharma delivers high quality large uniform batches with guaranteed transport ratios. Each vesicle kit contains the following materials for 100 reactions:

  • Membrane vesicles
  • AMP solution
  • ATP solution
  • Assay buffer
  • Stop/Wash buffer

Products

Ready-to-use vesicular transporter assay Kits

Kits can be used for substrate identification or inhibition screening. A master mix will be prepared, added to the membrane vesicles and incubated at 37 in the presence of ATP or AMP. Loaded vesicles will be filtered, lysed and eluted for detection.
